The Mersey Beatles

If you attended any of last years incredible Mathew Street Festival, you'll be aware of The Mersey Beatles - even if you didn't realize it. They were the band responsible for completely filling Dale Street, turning this usually traffic-filled thoroughfare into a huge can of human sardines! I don't think we've seen such a tightly packed crowd since Castle Street on Yellow Submarine Day in 1999! Following the success of last years shows The Mersey Beatles were offered a residency at The Cavern Club and were proud to be asked by Liverpool City Council to represent the city at a cultural event in Cannes.

Formed by school friends Brian Ambrose (Ringo) and Steven Howard (Paul), they were joined by Steven's cousin David Howard (George) and Jay Murray (John), who had previously been in another band with Steven. They have written and performed their own original songs, but realized in order to achieve success they needed to become a covers band - and what better band to chose than The Beatles?! The Mersey Beatles try to sound as much like their heroes as possible and always attempt to bring the sprit of The Beatles to their shows. Of course, being Scouser's they don't have too much trouble with accents and they have been told that their personalities are also similar to The Fab Four - Dave is the quiet one, Brian the noisy one, Jay the funny one with the sharp streak and Steven the PR one, sorting things out and not wanting to upset anyone!

The Mersey Beatles will once again be playing to their home-crowd at the Mathew Street Festival in Chavasse Park on Monday, and they are especially looking forward to playing the music from the movie A Hard Day's Night at our Reels Years concert. Highly acclaimed across Merseyside and the UK, The Mersey Beatles are thrilled to be representing Liverpool at Beatleweek once again!
